Vincristine is a key chemotherapy drug used in leukemia and other childhood  cancers. It has played a key role in saving my son for the last three and a half years. There are still many, many children and young adults fighting and going without this key part of their protocol thanks to the abrupt business decision of Teva Pharmaceuticals to cease production of it. There is now a serious shortage which is affecting the outcome of children’s battles with cancer. 

I beg of you to continue making this drug for the children. I’m sorry it’s not a big money maker for you but our children’s lives are worth more than money.

I beg of the government to step in and force Teva to continue production of Vincristine at least until another company is found who can manufacture it in addition to Pfizer. 

These children are fighting for their lives and their future. It’s a hard enough battle with all the proper medications. They should not lose their fight because a company decides it’s not worth it.

Please do the right thing.
